Patch testing (PT) is useful for identifying the cause of treatment-resistant dermatitis. The Japanese standard allergen series (2008) (JSA2008) is useful for identifying allergens among substances producing false negative PT results and for revealing unexpected causes of allergic reactions. When performing PT, JSA2008 should be used as much as possible. However, since 2015, Patch Test Panel^® (S) has also been available in Japan. This is a ready-to-use PT consisting of 22 standard allergens. Given that 21 of the 22 allergens are shared with JSA2008, Patch Test Panel^®(S) is now becoming popular because of its ease of use and timesaving advantage. However, a comparison between PT results using Patch Test Panel^®(S) and JSA2008 has not been reported in patients living in northern Kyushu. This study compared the PT results using Patch Test Panel^®(S) with those using JSA2008 in patients who visited Kyushu University Hospital and Fukuoka Dental College Hospital. Significantly higher rates of positive PT results were found for gold sodium thiosulfate (p＜0.001) and nickel sulfate (p＜0.001) using Patch Test Panel^®(S).
